Ask HN: GCP Outage?
Status page is, as expected, all green, but anyone noticing anything unusual? Services on cloud run timing out for me.
- jeanlucas 1y agoSome issues here in Brazil
- hu3 1y agoOne of my multi-region clients is also affected by Brazil GCP.
- staletofu 1y agoCan't login with google to langsmith at the moment and gcp login is loading either. Seems like there is something afoot.
- tosh 1y agoFirebase Firestore is either down or very high latency in us-east1
- ghxst 1y agoMultiple people within our company reporting issues. Mostly from US, us in the EU still seem fine as of right now. edit: Never mind, it's down for me now as well.
- archiolidius 1y agoYouTube API partially down
- romanzubenko 1y agoWe first noticed google login issues with our app, can't login with google anywhere now, Google Analytics is down as well.
- jeanlucas 1y agoMultiple people in Brazil reporting: - SSO issues; - Google workspace tools not loading; current time: 2025-07-18T15:35:43+00:00 12h35 GMT-3

- zero_shift 1y agoSomeone unplugged the Big Router
- arresin 1y agoEvery ui in gcp is ugly and painful and slow. Why?
- palcu 1y agoThere is an external incident now. https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/8cY8jdUpEGGbsSMSQk7J https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/8cY8jdUpEGGbsSMSQk...
- lebski88 1y agoOur VPN restarted about an hour ago and caused a bit of excitement, on the whole it's been a lot less _interesting_ than the last one thankfully.
- dangoodmanUT 1y agoReminder that multi cloud >>> multi region Anyone who says otherwise is selling availability theater Too many whole-cloud outages due to a bad config in the last 2 months (GCP x2, cloudflare x2)
- jonathaneunice 1y agoAnd also that effort(multi cloud) >>> effort(multi region)
- 18172828286177 1y agoThis isn’t a whole-cloud outage. It’s not even a whole-region outage. Whole-cloud outages are pretty damn rare. The recent GCP issues are an exception to the general rule. I’d posit that the complexity of a multi-cloud setup is generally going to reduce your service’s reliability more than relying on a single cloud does.
- remram 1y agoWhole-zone outages are also rare...
- FrankPetrilli 1y ago"Rarity" is a distinction without merit in this particular case; the important thing to note is that (most) clouds don't guarantee _any_ availability of a single zone. A system which stashes all of its infrastructure in one zone only is expected to be impacted by issues with that cloud, while a multi-zone setup spanning a region is generally "soft-guaranteed" to be resilient to normal operations / failures.
- remram 1y ago> (most) clouds don't guarantee _any_ availability of a single zone Really? AWS (EC2) does: https://aws.amazon.com/compute/sla/?did=sla_card&trk=sla_card https://aws.amazon.com/compute/sla/?did=sla_card&trk=sla_car... so does GCP (GCE): https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla?hl=en https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla?hl=en and so does OVH: https://us.ovhcloud.com/legal/sla/public-cloud/ https://us.ovhcloud.com/legal/sla/public-cloud/ Are none of those three part of "most clouds"? What cloud platform do you use?
- Ironlink 1y agoOur system in EU observed some slowness and a few 500 and 503 responses from `identitytoolkit.googleapis.com` over a period of about 10 minutes.
- blitzar 1y agoSystems down, heading to the pub.
- ge96 1y agoEvery time pager duty hits, take a shot
- mbf 1y agoI forgot all about pager duty... been retired over a year now. I don't miss pager duty.
- CoastalCoder 1y ago> I forgot all about pager duty Probably because it's hard to form long-term memories when you're sleep-deprived :/
- blitzar 1y agoor 8 shots in
- dijit 1y agoMaybe centralising all our IT infrastructure wasn't a good idea after all.
- kenmacd 1y agoI dunno. If just your employers site is down then you'll be expected to fix it, whereas if everyone is down there's less pressure.
- dpkirchner 1y agoyup. I figure I'm basically a free-rider (except I am paying a relatively small amount.)
- dijit 1y agoNobody who talks to actual stakeholders can use this as a defence. B2B customers don’t care if the other sites are also down, your SLA is affected with them, and they will want compensation.
- freedomben 1y agoDefinitely been seeing a handful of 50x errors this morning. Fortunately seems like a partial outage but definitely annoying (and can sometimes indicate worse trouble coming)
- abhisek 1y agoYes. Many times. Kubernetes upgrade during maintenance schedule borks up entire cluster, yet everything is green on status page. Support case under enterprise support plan took almost 6 hours to get it resolved.
- dilyevsky 1y agoI see they made great strides in the past 5 years - it used to take days =)
